Retailer friendly company prefix. If you purchase barcodes in lots of 10 or 100 or 1000, we supply our barcodes with a genuinecompany prefix– this barcode prefix belongs to you alone, and can be used to identify your company. The first digits of this prefix are completely yours, and the remaining digits are varied to create all the barcode numbers owned by you.
